Do Your Homework

You will need to research the legislators with whom you want to build relationships.

Become familiar with the legislator's background
  • What is their personal history?
  • What political issues are important to them?
  • What committees do they serve on?
  • What's their voting record?
  • Who supports this candidate by endorsing or donating to them?

    You can usually get most of this information from:
  • The Senator or Representative’s Public Webpage
  • Their House of Representatives or Senate Website
  • The Illinois Board of Elections Website
  • Local Media Coverage of your Legislators
  • www.followthemoney.org - Choose "State at a Glance" under "Search Our Data."
